The Auditorium Theatre is located at 50 East Congress Parkway (between Michigan and Wabash).

Willow Chicago has secured permanent parking for our Sunday Morning Services at Grant Park South Parking Garage (325 S. Michigan Ave.-around the corner from the Auditorium Theater on Michigan Avenue). This means we will always have the same relatively inexpensive place to park all year round - even on the special event days like any of the lakefront festivals—or Bears’ game days.

Discounted Parking Rates:

$6.00 for 3 hour parking.
$12.50 (10.00 + 2.50 tax) for 8 hour parking.

PLEASE NOTE: if the hourly parking indicated on the voucher is exceeded, then the parking rates will default to the regular posted parking rates. Please make sure to leave the garage in time to avoid paying additional parking fees. If you even think you might want to stay longer, it’s still less expensive to buy the 8-hour voucher at $12.50 than pay the $20.

We are working with the City to achieve exemption from the $2.50 tax which would further lower our rates. This is not a definite, but we are working on making this happen.
